What is Information Architecture?
By sorting out things like this:
-Classification and Hierarchy
-Labels and Tagging
-Navigation and Wayfinding
-Search
INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE (IA for short) connects PEOPLE to the CONTENT they're looking for.
The 'content' people are looking for could be text, images, videos, whole documents, or even conversations... and other people.
IA also helps the people who create and maintain content do their job easier, and links content to other content to make it more usable and easy to find.

Hi Murray, I'm interested in using your 'poster' to help educate managers within my workplace (I work for a Queensland (in Australia) Government department). Could you let me know if you consider this a non-commercial use? It would only be used internally and no income would be gained from it.

(I realize I didn't clarify "non-commercial" well in my last response: as long as you're not making money off the image itself, you can use it along with attribution.)
